Hyperinsulinemia, Insulin Resistance, and the Treatment of Hypertension

Insulin Resistance and Hyperinsulinemia

OBJECTIVE Recently, it has been suggested that insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia can exist in isolation and have differential impacts on cardiovascular disease (CVD). To evaluate this suggestion, we assessed the degree of discordance between insulin sensitivity and insulin response in a healthy, nondiabetic population. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Insulin sensitivity was quantified by de...

Insulin Resistance , Hyperinsulinemia , and Obesity - Associated Hypertension 1

Recent work to elucidate the cause of obesity-associated hypertension has focused on insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia. A significant amount of epidemiologic and correlational evidence suggests a link between these factors and obesity-associated hypertension, and acute insulin infusion studies have revealed renal, neural, and cardiovascular effects of this hormone that, if maintained chro...

Insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia: is hyperinsulinemia the cart or the horse?

Insulin resistance, recently recognized as a strong predictor of disease in adults, has become the leading element of the metabolic syndrome and renewed as a focus of research. The condition exists when insulin levels are higher than expected relative to the level of glucose. Thus, insulin resistance is by definition tethered to hyperinsulinemia. The rising prevalence of medical conditions wher...
